The Needs of Individuals
With Disabilities in Oklahoma
Esther I. Wilder
Department of Sociology and Social Work
Lehman College, City University of New York
This research was generously sponsored by the Oklahoma Office of Handicapped Concerns (OHC). I am
especially grateful for the support and encouragement of Steven Stokes, the Director of OHC. Traci Kane
and Stacey Hansen meticulously coded the results from the questionnaires and Morgan Lindsey provided
helpful research support. William Walters' careful review of this report was especially appreciated. The
names of individuals with disabilities have been changed to protect the confidentiality of participants in
this study. This project would not have been possible without the support of dozens of organizations
throughout the state that provide services to individuals with disabilities. I am grateful to every one of
them. The opinions expressed in this report do not necessarily represent the views of the State of
Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Office of Handicapped Concerns, or the agencies that cooperated in distributing
the surveys.
